1 Tour Code: SGI16 Pilgrimage to SCHEDULED DEPARTURE March 30 - April 7, 2016 Hosted by: Fr. Brian Lager Pope Francis declared the next year as the Year of Mercy. Mercy is at the heart of God s love for us as we look to Jesus and see His mercy on the cross and experience His mercy through the sacraments. This Pilgrimage will be an experience of Mercy. We will see and walk where early Christians first experienced the mercy of God. We will experience the mercy of God offered to us by being on pilgrimage to the holy sites in Rome including the 4 major Basilicas. We will be able to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday with the Holy Father on the Anniversary of the death of John Paul II who instituted that very feast. I encourage you to join us on this wonderful pilgrimage to commemorate the Year of Mercy.
